They are quite common in Pennsylvania which is Pennsylvanian in age of course. It wouldn’t be unusual for a common fossil to wind up in another state’s rock shop as we know with GRF fish and U-Dig trilobites. Those are some great buys though!

I understand that, but I believe both pieces came from either Indiana or Illinois, the other pieces that were at this store were also from Indiana. I believe the owner bought the from a local collector who self collected. I am looking for Crinoid ID's and a possible location of where the tooth came from.

I now realize my post may have sounded condescending. I am sorry, I didn’t mean for it to sound that way. I was just clarifying for anyone in the future also looking for info on their Petalodus teeth that isn’t as fossil savvy as you.

Believe me it did not sound that way and I did not take it that way, so no worries- I appreciate any type of help.

I can't help you with IDs either but the fact that the crinoid came with location info I think means you're well on your way to getting the IDs. I would have snapped it up too! Nice association piece. I don't worry about lack of IDs as I do about lack of location info.

I am almost sure that the crinoid piece is from none of the places mentioned. It is Devonian from Alpena, Michigan. You have a Megistocrinus and a Dolatocrinus on the piece. Most probably from the Thunder Bay formation at Partridge Point. I would have to see the matrix to be 100% sure.

Curious where you got this piece. Last years at MAPS I ran into someone selling Alpena pieces that were completely mislabeled.

Joe thanks for the IDs and location info. I will send you a PM on seller.
